It really depends on the game for me. not all rpgs are created equal, action, turn-based, or otherwise.

Valkyrie Profile looked interesting, mostly because I like fighting games, and incorporating them into a turn-based format looks cool. I haven't played it though. The only Shin Megami Tensei game I played (I think it was 3 or 4?) had way to much grinding and I dropped it after getting about 4-6 hours in. To each their own though.
